Andrew Jackson Jihad - Distance (Song)
Distance is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad and is the fifth song on their 2011 release, Knife Man. Opening up with a fast and aggressive rhythm guitar part, the song reminds me far more of the second track on the record, The Gift Of The Magi 2, far …
Just a Dream by Carrie Underwood
This is just another one of Carrie Underwood’s amazing songs. By far, she is the best American Idol there ever was and the most successful. This song didn’t get very big on the radio but got big in my heart. I can’t quite relate to the subject of the …

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of The Moon (1973)
Monstrously succesful, an absolute legend, constantly on the charts, Pink Floyd’s undisputed masterpiece. These could be the adjectives with which this record could be described with. Other than these, it’s probably one of those rare albums, where the concepts and ideas expressed touch not only one person, but it …
The Lady Killer Album-Cee Lo

Not Your Kind of People, 2012 Album by Garbage
I was very exciting last spring to find out that a new Garbage album was going to come out after such a long wait, since their 2005 album, Bleed Like Me. And so I basically downloaded the album as soon as it was released. I will be honest and …
Scars On Broadway - Universe (Song)

First and foremost, Taylor has proved that she is not just someone who will …
Song : Stan by Eminem
Eminem has always been an artist who I equally admire or loathe depending on the day. At his best I find him to be a brilliant, profound writer who really captures emotions and thoughts skillfully in his music and words. At his worst he is childish and …
Summer of Sam Soundtrack (CD)
The movie, “Summer of Sam” was released in 1999. The actual events taking place in the movie occurred during the 1970’s in New York City. Listen to the soundtrack for this great Spike Lee film, and you’ll hear nothing but sublime entertainment. Whoever organized the …

to his love like a drug. This is a …
Tool - Parabol (Song)
Parabol is a song by Tool which appears on their album Lateralus. I’m not extremely familiar with Tool’s music but I’ve been trying lately to see how they are so we’ll see how this goes. The track starts off with what sounds to me to be a bass playing …
Dumb Girls by Lucy Woodward
Dumb Girls by Lucy Woodward is about how this girl feels like only dumb girls have their boyfriends dump them. She feels like she wants the guy back but she doesn’t want to tell the guy because she is scared. This song is a beautiful song because it talks …

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane over the Sea
Before I even decided to listen to this album, I have had many discussions with people, including friends of mine, about this album. The question I would always bring up is “what is it about this particular album that makes people in underground/indie music go nuts. For me, witnessing …
Megadeth - Holy Wars… The Punishment Due (Song)
Holy Wars… The Punishment Due is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Rust In Peace. The track opens up with a very rapid guitar riff which the drums imitate to add an extremely heavy rhythm to the song. Mustaine wastes no time getting into this track …
Foreplay/Long Time by Boston
One of my favorite song by Boston is the song Foreplay/Long time. It is off their debut album anf Foreplay is sort of an instrumental that eludes into the track Long time. I have to say Tom Sholz is a genius for writing that instrumental. He even recorded the …
Animal Collective - Danse Manatee (Album)
Danse Manatee is the second record released by Animal Collective. Following Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished, the best way I can summarize this album is that it actually seems to be a decline and a step down in songwriting unfortunately. Though Danse Manatee does certainly have its moments …
Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistol
Anyone compiling a collection of the ultimate collection of rock albums has to include this 1977 disc. I can still remember hearing this for the first time and being amazed that bands played like that. The foul language was shocking, especially the rant at the end of …

Animal Collective - No More Runnin’ (Song)
No More Runnin’ is a song by Animal Collective and the penultimate track on their 2009 studio record, Merriweather Post Pavilion. Opening with an incredibly gentle and melodic sound, No More Runnin’ may have one of the more melodic sections on the entire record, second to perhaps only Bluish. …
Jennifer Lopez - Papi (Music Video)

Aurore Rien - A Split Penion Seraph
Aurore Rien is a tragic story. An american shoegaze band that only got to do two albums before they broke up as a band. A Split Penion Seraph was part of their first album and is in my opinion their most memorable. It has an hypnotic character, combining sweet …
Neutral Milk Hotel - Snow Song Pt. 1 (Song)

GHS Electric Boomers guitar strings

Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ by 50 Cent
Don’t buy this CD; it is really tasteless. Not to mention I am not really a big fan of this artiste anyway. But he is really talented I have to claim that. For this particular album, the songs are not that nice and I couldn’t relate to …
Finger Eleven - Them Vs. You Vs. Me
Canadian rockers Finger Eleven have been kicking it now for more than eleven years. From the underground smart-grunge sounds of their 1997 debut album “Tip” to the emotive and acoustic-laden drones of 2003’s self-titled outing, they’ve managed to run the gamut within the confines of alternative hard rock.
But with …
Paparazzi by Lady Gaga

When we think about Elliot Smith, several things may come to mind. We might be reminded of beauty, harmony, tragedy, love, and the mysteries behind our emotions. Elliot, before his tragic passing (suicide), released many impressive albums, with countless hits and demonstrations of incredible talent.

Metallica - Sad But True (Song)
Sad But True, the second song off of Metallica’s self-title album, certainly slows down the tempo and focuses on a heavy feel rather than a fast approach to the song. If you can think of a song like The Thing That Should Not Be, although slightly more commercial, I’d …
